Event DescriptionGame Jams are a great (and fun) opportunity to network and work directly with programmers, artists, musicians to rapidly develop a working video game. If you've ever been curious about what it takes to make a game this is your chance. Absolutely no previous experience is required as we want everybody regardless of skill level to get involved and be a part of the community. We need you, whether it's your first jam or you're a seasoned vet.
